We've talked about jettisoning Cyrus SASL in favor of "something else"

you want to pursue it further.

Timo from dovecot, uses his own version, and has talked before about
breaking it out. Might be worth a browse of the latest Dovecot RC.


I just inquired about Heimdal's "tsasl" (not currently included in
Heimdal). They are interested in a simpler sasl solutions as well. He
also mentioned dovecot.

I just pulled dovecot from CVS. It looks interesting, but it'd take more time than I have right now to investigate it. There's no API documentation, so it strikes me that it's a bit premature to be considering using it, but feel free to jump in and assess it.
